other fiue flowers were luxuries en-.
Ijoyed BY bat few except the wealthy,
and the fact OF having roses In bloom
almost all the year Was scarcely thought
I of. June was called the 'month OF
roses" and when the ''annuAls," which
we're then the principal roses grown,
had ceased 10 bloom, there were no
more roses until another year had
rolled around. But the business Of
raising flowers, the samo ~ oil other
business, has within the Last decade
made rapid progress. and 1t 10 nov
possible for every one who has . yard
to have magni6csnt roses every day
from May until November, " hile those
who have oonservatories can have them
every day In the year.
The love OF flowers Ia on the In
crease, and each year 1t requires o
greater number Of plants to supply the
demand. This, however, 10 nos to be
wondered ct, as IL would be . difacult
task to find any one who does not love
flowers. The infant In its mothers D
arms Ii attracted BY their gAy colors,
and vainly essays TO reach and orush
them 10 its iiny hand. Those of more
mature years find comfort and solace
In their many hues and fragrant scent,
the sick room ia enlivened with their
radiant presence, the marriage fesst or
royal banquet would be incomplete
without them, and when ay last tho
cold hand OF death Is laid on the young,
or the aged yield 10 his icy embrace,
tho presence OF the destroyer 10 robbed
of part of It's terr0rs by beautiful. ha-
grant flowers wrought by the deit An
gers Of the florist into appropriate do
signs, which tell OF immortality and
another lie bsyend the cold confines OF
the grave. The world would indeed bs
void without fowere, aud IL the man
who causes two blades Of grass to grow
where but one grew before 10 o public
Ibenefactor, What can be said Of the man
who causes . hundred thousand roses
to grow where none grew before?
such were some Of the thoughts
which passed through n reporters
mind recently, when by the kind invi-
tattoo Of Mr.. N. r. Hayden he visited
his Crystal Rose Park, on the Newport
pike, about mile and . ha!f from this
city TIE weather was delightful, and
the sight Of men plowing In the delds
along the road told that spring was at
hand, and that nature would soon throw
of tho sombre robes Of winter and ap-
pear In her vernal garb. But once In.
side the green houses Que wouid think
that summer wss already bers. as the
heat ranged from rs to 81 degrees.
There are seven OF these greenhouses,
each being filled with plants, Of which
FlCrA's treasure, the rose, OF course pre-.
dominates, The first greenhouse con-
tains about 1000 large rose plants. all of
which will be In bloom within two
Ixsa ~ haiy,r fhn no
rieties, "rhe Bride" American
Bt tAuty." MADAM de Watsrville,"
Her Majesty" and others. The next
house has abou. 10000 roses, such as
Mr.. Hayden sells for 81 dozen; Of
these about 5000, com prising 30 choice
varieties, ore now ready for shipment.
These plants are large and strong,
having been "hsrdened" through the
| winter 30 that therets no danger OF their
dying when p aced out doors.
Experience has taught Mr. Hayden
| that the most uDsstisfActory resul, 10 are
lobtaibed when plar t. are shipped by
| mail, as to send them in that manner
all the dirt has TO be knocked off the
roots, exposing the delicate tibrss to the
air and either killing the plant alto
gether or stinting 1t to suoa an extent
that IL dWindles through season And
then dies. Consequently all of MT
| Hay6en's out.of-town OrderD are ssnt
by express, the plants being taken out
oi the small pots In which they are
1grown without disturbing the roots or
Ibreskipg the dirt. The little cloos Of
] dirt in which tho roots are encased are
then envtloped with wet moss and care
fully packed In box, and reach their
destination, whether 100 or LOCO miles,
In aa fresh condition AS they are when
shipped. II the receiver then plants
them without breaking the dirt from
around the roots they will not even
wither. and every plant win live TO
more than repay the expense and trou-
BILE with beautiful blooms. When win.
ter approaches o protection of leaves
around the roots, covered with coal
Ashss, will save i've out Of every six
Pnnts through the mostsevere weather.
One OF the most interesting features
OF tha florists buainesis the propagation
or losee. The rose, aa is yell known,
Idoee not produce seed, and the skill OF
the fi)rist Is brought into reputation
for their reproduction. A part of one
1of Mr.. Hayden's greenhouses Is used
for this pnrpose, which is accom- plished
by taking pieces of the wood OF the

two in 3Ees Ia length, and sticking one
lend, on which is bud, in wet sand. In
few days the little whito thread like
roots will make their appearance, and
when sufficient number 10 formed the
neS plants are transferred 20 pots ab0ui
shree inchee high and two inches 10
diameter, and filled with dirt, whers
they grow aud thrive until ready for
sale. Eaoh OF Mr. Haydsn's large
greeuhouaes are filed with ohoios
piahts, bat while roses of course take

Kinds OF leaf or Towering plants, and
